Yetchh's Redzone Relocation..

Recommended Posts

So with the inside 99% finished in the second week of April it was time to carry on with the outside. Progress was a lot slower than I initially imagined (typically) put down to the fact that I had to complicate things with the installation of access gates.. 

Anyway, got some more boxing on.. And gates installed

Then came around the back of the house, my intention was to allways have a shed for the gas bottles and something around the califont to make it look less shit (whilst complying with the regs of course). In my haste to get compliance I made some stupid decisions with regards to placement of certain services i.e. Power, water and fiber. Couldn't move power but spent more time than was worth moving the fiber along..

Framed up the rest of the subfloor and built the bottle "shed" 

There is also another single gate to the left of the gully trap below.

Clad it..

Then came around the front of the house to close that in.. Had to put in a few gates to access all that space. 

If you look close just to the right of the yellow bin you can see a black spot on the foundation, the water line I also had to move, paid for that one tho.

Because this boxing warps so badly I have to install the gates without hinges then clad over the lot, let the timber shrink then cut the gates out and hang them = fucking around..

Capped the rear section of the base boards last weekend, 

Half of the mac boards banana'd by about 10-15, thankfully they didn't twist but I had to cut most of them straight.

Thank fuck for table saws,

Also spent a bit of time getting the compound miter right.

Put a string up and cut some wedges as Packers for the cappings,

Glued and bradded them in place.

Drilled and dowelled the butt joins, 

I over sized the dowel holes a, to make it easier to align everything once the caps are on and b, so there's some epoxy all around the dowels to make the whole joint stronger. Mac likes to move around a bit.

Epoxied,

I was gonna use some stainless spax fixings and heat the end to discolour them, but fuck, the stain will colour them anyway so just used standard landscape fixings

Got them pretty straight, not to bothered as they're supposed to look rough ish.

Cheers bro, still got a bit to go before I'm finished but I've essentially broken the back of it now, "should" be a fairly easy run to the end (we all know how that means nothing and I've pretty much just jinxed myself)

Looking good man. Is this getting pushed along quicker due to plans to move up north? 

Don't forget that area behind / to the side of the gas cylinders needs to be sealed completely to stop any potential airflow.

Yeah, constant work on it now to try and get it finished. I've put ply directly behind the bottles and to the sides slightly further than the base boards go (about 100mm)then it's just the mac..  Ply is hard down onto the concrete.

Is that so any potential leaks would only drop out through the front instead of settling under the house?

Yeah basically. If the underside of a house is enclosed like that you need to have 1m either side of the cylinders sealed. It's different when things are open and closed. Once closed up, it's considered part of the building, and so any openings into said building need to be sealed behind the cylinders and 1m each side. I guess the theory is the gas is mixed with a lot of air by the time it gets that distance and so is less of a problem. Council will pull up air gaps in bricks within 1m of cylinders. Just rules being rules etc. After install, gas supplier can also pick up on things (quite common) and refuse to supply more gas until fixed.

Yes, still toiling away.. Had some things going on the last 6 weeks plus some rain days. Feels like some weekends I get fuck all done.. Actually, that's most weekends. 

Anyway, 

Got the last bit under the back stairs done a while back, just cleans it all up. Not much to look at.

Luckily my driver just for under the cladding to drill the dowel holes. Would have been a cunt otherwise.

So that really does make the bottom finished. Thank fuck.
